Hyundai Sits Atop J.D. Power Surveyhttp://www.walserhyundai.com/blog/2014/june/24/hyundai-sits-atop-jd-power-survey.htm?locale=en_US
<p>Here at Walser Hyundai, we were happy to hear about
some big news that came off the presses this week. It's a historic day for the
automaker whose cars we provide to those in Burnsville, MN and beyond, and one
that really cements its status as a top choice among buyers
everywhere.</p>
<p>Hyundai earned the highest overall brand rating in
J.D. Power and Associates' Initial Quality Study. It evaluates the first 90
days of ownership from over 86,000 respondents to the survey, and the brand
with the least amount of issues, or the lowest score, is the top brand on the
study.</p>
<p>Hyundai led the way as many drivers reported few
issues during their ownership, and the Accent was even the second-highest in
terms of individual vehicles that were scored.</p>
<p>Hyundai made the jump up 12 points from last year,
which shows you how much improvement goes into every model each year, as new
technology and other features are released to enhance the quality.</p>

<br><p>When you can spend quality time
with your family, that's always a good thing. In our cars, many memories can be
made. To us at Walser Hyundai, it's important that your vehicle stay in tip top
shape so you'll have those moments to share, even if it is just whipping around
a parking lot.</p>
<p>Many of you have probably seen this ad, as it came
out around Father's Day a few weekends ago.&nbsp;
It showcases the style and power behind the Hyundai Sonata, while a
father and daughter have some fun driving, and pretend driving.</p>
<p>It's simplistic, but we think it is fun, and gets a
great point across: you can always have a great time behind the wheel of any
<b><a href="/new-inventory/index.htm">new
Hyundai</a></b> model, and create some memories with people you
care about.</p>

<br><p>The World Cup is in full swing,
and it has been quite entertaining. We've seen plenty of dramatic finishes, and
lots of goals, and what's cooler is Hyundai has been there taking in the entire
experience.</p>
<p>In the videos, they've sent some lucky fans to
enjoy all the World Cup has to offer both in Brazil, and their respective home
nations. Here, we see an Italian fellow and his friends traveling throughout
the Amazonian country visiting all the big soccer venues during the biggest
sporting event every four years.</p>
<p>Here at Walser Hyundai, we just like seeing our
models around the world, and love seeing the Hyundai logo all over TV and the
World Cup venues. To learn more about our <b><a href="/new-inventory/index.htm">new Hyundai</a></b>

<br><p>You probably recall a few
months back we showed you how Hyundai put its new 2015 Genesis through some
very risky, but thrilling and interesting safety tests. Today, we have another
installment, that proves to be equally amazing.</p>
<p>This time, Hyundai is testing the blind spot
monitoring system by having Rhys Millen drive through three busses with his
windows blacked out and only the safety system to warn him of oncoming traffic.
Needless to say, the new luxury sedan passes the test with flying colors,
showing us all that the Genesis is protecting us at all times, even in moments
where the driver can't see what is on its sides.</p>
<p>To learn more about the new and exciting ride, and
all other <b><a href="/new-inventory/index.htm">new

<br><p>Every Thursday, you check your
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, whatever, and there's a #TBT post. For the
uninitiated, that stands for Throwback Thursday, meaning you post something
from the past. At Walser Hyundai, we figured we'd get in on the fun and we
found a great old video featuring a model that still impresses here in our
Brooklyn Park, MN showroom.</p>
<p>It's the Elantra, and this ad from the 1990s shows
two ladies coming out from a fancy establishment, judging men on their rides.
Of course, they guy with the Elantra shows up, and they are very, very
impressed, and say so in terms that are <em>totally</em>
straightforward, right?</p>
<p>All these years later and the Elantra still
impresses. To see it and all other <b><a href="/new-inventory/index.htm">new

<br><p>At Walser Hyundai, we're just
loving all the stuff that has been coming out regarding the 2015 Hyundai
Genesis. It's one cool car, be it some crazy safety tests, or performing on the
track. The one of a kind vehicle gives all of us in Brooklyn Park, MN a luxury
option to choose, while keeping true to everything that makes Hyundai
great.</p>
<p>In this video, driver Randy Pobst reviews the
vehicle's performance at Sonoma Speedway, and we get to see how it does so many
things with ease on the track.</p>
<p>Take a look and let us know what you think. If
you're inclined to take a look at the Genesis, stop in and see us, where we

<br><p>Did you know that the 2014 FIFA
World Cup in Brazil is just 25 days away? Here at Walser Hyundai, we certainly
have soccer fever, as we look forward to the world's greatest players on the
grandest stage, and of course, cheering on the United States in the tournament.
We're also happy to see that Hyundai is a global sponsor of the event, and
they've gotten the hype going with a new ad.</p>
<p>Superstars like Kaka, Iker Castillas, and Oscar are
cruising around in Hyundai models like the Santa Fe and Genesis rounding up
people to head to the main event, where a champion will be crowned.</p>
<p>We're hoping to see plenty more where that came
from, and some spectacular play once the event kicks off. You can also find the
spectacular in our <b><a href="/new-inventory/index.htm">new Hyundai</a></b>
lineup here in our Brooklyn Park, MN showroom serving Minneapolis.</p>2014-05-19T06:00:00ZHyundai Tests Safety at Extreme Levelshttp://www.walserhyundai.com/blog/2014/may/13/hyundai-tests-safety-at-extreme-levels.htm?locale=en_US

<br><p>At Walser Hyundai, we know
everyone wants a safe ride. We also know they want luxury, and with the 2015
Genesis, they are getting both. The luxury, of course can be seen on the
outside very clearly, but to show off the safety, the automaker really stepped
it up to the next level.</p>
<p>With stunt driver Rhys Millen, Hyundai blacked out
the windows of the new Genesis, and had Millen back up into two swinging freight
containers. The only way he could stop would be using the Sensory Surround
feature, which automatically applies the brakes when it detects a danger at any
angle. Otherwise, he's mush.</p>
<p>So how does it turn out? Well, we're not going to spoil
it for you so you'll just have to watch.</p>
<p>After that, if you want to learn more about the Genesis,
stop in and see us in our Brooklyn Park, MN showroom where we'd be happy to
help and answer questions.</p>2014-05-13T06:00:00ZHyundai Santa Fe Sport Endorsed by Real Drivershttp://www.walserhyundai.com/blog/2014/april/28/hyundai-santa-fe-sport-endorsed-by-real-drivers.htm?locale=en_US

<br><p>When you're out searching for
your next new vehicle, often times the recommendations from friends, family,
and people you trust come into play. At Walser Hyundai, we do believe they are
important. After all, you want the opinion of people who drive the vehicles. In
the case of the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, the automaker has gone out and asked
real drivers how they feel about the vehicle, and put together some great
videos for us to share with you.</p>
<p>Richard and his wife love a good adventure. The
Santa Fe Sport provides them with everything they need, from comfort and cargo
room, to safety and convenience like Blue Link. Available on all <b><a href="/new-inventory/index.htm">new Hyundai</a></b>
models, Blue Link provides drivers with vehicle diagnostics right from the
center display, and in an app on their smartphones. That way, they'll always
know if it's time for service or a checkup here at our Brooklyn Park, MN
showroom serving the greater Minneapolis area.</p>
<p>While Richard's experience is a good one, we
encourage you to find out for yourself. So, stop in and see us today, and we'd
be happy to set up a test drive!</p>2014-04-28T06:00:00ZHyundai Equus Earns Ward's Best Interior Awardhttp://www.walserhyundai.com/blog/2014/april/14/hyundai-equus-earns-wards-best-interior-award.htm?locale=en_US

the greater Minneapolis area value a vehicle with a comfortable interior, and
many premium amenities. With the Hyundai Equus, you can find all of that, with
luxury touches throughout, and at a price that trumps most luxury brands. If
you needed proof, take a look at Ward's Auto's 10 Best Interiors.</p>
<p>The Equus, one of two luxury models in the
<b><a href="/new-inventory/index.htm">new
Hyundai</a></b> lineup earned the valued distinction. It's
ergonomically sound, meaning everything is within reach and situated in a way
that makes all the elegance and onboard technology seem simple. The materials
are also of the highest quality, too.</p>
<p>The one feature we like to point out here at Walser
Hyundai is the 9.2-inch center display, which gives you access to a multitude
of features including hands-free calling, music streaming, and navigation.</p>
<p>While Ward's looks for items that make the driving
experience better inside, it also looks at which models set the bar for their
respective segments. In the sedan category, the Equus certainly takes the
cake.</p>
<p>To learn more stop in and see us here in our
showroom where we'd be happy to answer any questions you might have and can set
up test drives at your convenience.</p>2014-04-14T06:00:00ZHyundai Performs Blind Safety Testhttp://www.walserhyundai.com/blog/2014/april/2/hyundai-performs-blind-safety-test.htm?locale=en_US

<br><p>Just how confident is Hyundai
that its Sensory Surround Safety system found on models like the 2015 Genesis ?
Confident enough that it would black out all the windows and put a professional
stunt driver behind the wheel and have him drive toward another vehicle.</p>
<p>It sounds pretty crazy, and trust us, it is. At
Walser Hyundai, we'd never advise someone try it out, but Hyundai of course had
trained professionals on site to monitor the situation. AS you can see in the
video, Rhys Millen, a professional stunt driver gets behind the wheel and
drives, having no idea what's in front of him. As he picks up speed, and the
other vehicle gets closer, the Genesis applies the brakes, and stops before a
collision can occur.</p>
<p>Then, Hyundai asks us if we remember a time when
your car didn't have reflexes of its own. It's very true, and very cool that
there are now so many features that aim to protect us on the roads. Of course,
this plus the combination of being a good driver leads to less incidents and
all of us feeling confident.</p>
<p>To learn more about many of these safety features,
stop in and see us at Walser Hyundai in <b>Brooklyn Park, MN</b>
was we'd be happy to discuss all the options available to you. </p>2014-04-02T06:00:00ZTwo Hyundai Models Earn Best Bet Distinctionhttp://www.walserhyundai.com/blog/2014/march/12/two-hyundai-models-earn-best-bet-distinction.htm?locale=en_US

<br><p>Have you ever wonder what goes
into making a big commercial like Hyundai's "Nice" that highlights
the 2014 Elantra? Well, now you can thanks to the automaker releasing a video
that has behind the scenes access to the creation of the ad, including comments
from its stunt director, stars, and much more.</p>
<p>The ad, which debuted during the Super Bowl shows
<em>The Big Bang Theory</em>'s Johnny Galecki and co-star Richard
Lewis talk about the process and how much fun it was to film something that was
very unique like dodging rocks, obstacles, and jumping through fiery rings
(which they didn't really do, but still cool).</p>
<p>A lot goes into these ads, and while we remember
the funny moments, the true star is always the car. The 2014 Elantra is
compact, but packs a lot of punch with many standard onboard features and technology
that the ad highlights, while also being modern and stylish in terms of looks
too.</p>
<p>That's why we invite you to learn more, and help
Richard Lewis get multiple free lunches as he says in the video by taking a

<p>Here at Walser Hyundai, we make it no secret that we're fans of the stylish <b><a href="/models/hyundai-veloster-minneapolis.htm">Veloster</a></b>. Since its introduction in 2011, the Veloster has wowed critics and drivers alike with its unique exterior, comfortable interior and fun driving dynamic -- but that hasn't stopped the automaker from considering ways to further enhance its 3-door coupe.</p><p>Between the Veloster's Turbo and R-Spec editions, one might think that Hyundai had run the course of special editions to release, but as it turns out there's one more in store and it's bound to turn heads. Officially coined the Re:Flex edition, this version of the Hyundai Veloster sports numerous visual enhancements, ranging from 18-inch chrome wheels and exterior accents to an exclusive color option: Ice Pearl.</p><p align="left">Inside, the Hyundai Veloster Re:Flex features a full leather interior that can be had in either red or black.

<p>Last week at the Detroit Auto Show, our preferred
automaker <b>Hyundai</b> hosted the American debut of the next
generation <b><a href="/models/hyundai-genesis-minneapolis.htm">Genesis</a></b>
sedan. We've got quite a bit to look forward to in the American-spec edition,
and we're excited to show you what's to come.</p>
<p>Visually, the 2015 Genesis features the next
iteration of the automaker's Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design language. While some
might think this means a liquid look, it actually translates to clean body lines
and a coupe-like roofline. To us, the car has the persona of a European luxury
car without eschewing its South Korean heritage.</p>
<p>On the engine end, the new Genesis comes with your
choice of a 3.8-liter V6 with 333 horsepower and 291 lb-ft of torque, or a
5.0-liter V8 with an amped 429 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of twist. There are two
drivetrains available--RWD standard, and AWD with the automaker's new HTRAC
system.</p>
<p>With a whole host of upscale luxury components both
inside and out, one might think this sedan would burn a hole in your pocket.
That won't the case. While official pricing hasn't been released as of yet,
Hyundai has noted that it will keep its MSRP below $40,000.</p>
<p>As more information is released, we'll keep you
updated. Just stay tuned to <a href="/blog/index.htm">our

<p>The 2013 SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market
Association) Show serves as a great platform to introduce <b><a href="/new-inventory/index.htm">new Hyundai</a></b> technologies, including concept cars, technology enhancements and performance improvements.<br></p>
<p>Hyundai will soon sell two of its most popular
specialty engines to the public-- Yes, that includes you, <b>Minneapolis area Hyundai</b> drivers.</p>
<p>The Lambda 3.8-liter direct-injected V6 engine
along with the Theta 2.0-liter four-cylinder will both be available for $9,000
and $4,500 respectively. For those looking for an even bigger boost, Hyundai's
turbo-ready Theta can also be enhanced with a turbocharger, intercooler, and
ducting setup for an extra $1,500.</p>
<p>As soon as we can start selling this duo at our <b><a href="/parts/index.htm">Hyundai parts
department</a></b> in <b>the Minneapolis area</b>, the brand
hopes to make it easier and more affordable for drivers to modify their
vehicles.</p>
<p>Making the Lambda and Theta engine readily
accessible to drivers will also help Hyundai establish itself among the racer
community and gain some new fans, particularly those gearheads hooked on transforming
their rides.</p>
<p>The South Korean automaker anticipates the crate
engine program-- as it's called-- to be popular among
<b>Hyundai Genesis</b> owners and prospective buyers. The coupe is already a favorite
among racing enthusiasts and thrill seekers and these power plants will take
them to a whole new level.</p>
<p>The official release date of the first crate engine
options has yet to be confirmed, but stay in touch with us at Walser Hyundai for more
information via phone, email, a visit, or even right here on our <a href="/blog/index.htm">blog</a>.</p>

<p>Each year, aftermarket manufacturers, automakers,
dealers, and more gather in Las Vegas for four days of wild fun. Surprisingly,
casinos and clubs aren't involved, but rather some of the hottest auto products
and the most innovative models bearing them. Welcome to SEMA 2013.</p>
<p>Among the attendees were a few <b><a href="/new-inventory/index.htm">new Hyundai</a></b>
vehicles, which headed to Sin City to showcase some wicked
performance.</p>
<p>Like many auto brands, Hyundai seized SEMA as an
opportunity to trick out some of its most popular models. This year, the
<b>Hyundai Genesis</b> received a few alter-egos than the one we're
used to here at Walser Hyundai.</p>
<p>Referred to as a "no-holds-barred racer,"
the <b>Bisimoto Engineering Genesis Coupe</b> is well-endowed with
a 3.8-liter Lambda V6 engine. Between its forged pistons, fuel injectors,
Turbonetics turbochargers, a Magnafuel 750 fuel pump, and more, Hyundai's
creation is able to achieve 1,000 horsepower.</p>
<p>The Genesis variant is a tough act to follow, but
the <b>ARK Performance Genesis Coupe</b> and <b>John
Pangilinan's Genesis Coupe</b> have their own personal
advantages.</p>
<p>The former may be less intense than the Bisimoto
version, with an output of 400 horsepower even though it, too, features the
3.8-liter Lambda V6. But this Genesis' has its strengths and Hyundai added a
4.0-liter Stroker Kit, new headers, a pulley kit, and an ARK air intake
system.</p>
<p>The Pangilinan's Genesis serves as more modestly
modified vehicle and features <b><a href="/parts/index.htm">Hyundai parts and
accessories</a></b> offered at our dealership near <b>Minneapolis, MN</b>.</p>
<p>SEMA goes to show how we can add a personal touch
to a new Hyundai model to make it even better. Reach out to our dealership and
team of parts experts to get started.</p>

<p>Loose gravel, broken pavement, shallow creeks, deep
mud, and sharp rocks.&nbsp; While Minneapolis area drivers may not encounter all of these types of
terrain during their daily commute, some do, and this is definitely the case in
parts of Texas, where ranchers must traverse ground that is not easy to drive
over.&nbsp; This is why they need a truck,
SUV, or crossover that can handle whatever they throw its way, and the
<b>Hyundai Santa Fe</b> definitely fits this description.</p><p><img id="fullResImage" src="https://www.hyundaiusa.com/images/HyundaiUSA/Vehicles/gallery/Santa%20Fe/2013/june_update/expand/santa-fe-hyundai-2013-gallery-ext-800x450-01.jpg" alt="Hyundai Santa Fe Minneapolis" height="325" width="579"></p>
<p>To help drivers in the Lone Star State determine
which <b><a href="/new-inventory/index.htm">new cars</a></b>
can handle these conditions, the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) tests a
wide range of the industry's most popular trucks, SUVs, and crossovers at the
Texas Truck Rodeo every year.</p>
<p>The vehicles were put to the test at the Knibbe
Ranch in Spring Beach, Texas, and the judges evaluated each model's exterior
look, fuel economy, pricing, and off-road capability.&nbsp; The Santa Fe blew the judges away with its
power and durability, earning itself the title of 2013 "CUV of
Texas."</p>
<p>This third-generation of the popular CUV is better
than ever, boasting a powerful 290-horsepower, 3.3-liter V6 engine, six-speed
automatic transmission, and either a six or seven passenger seating
configuration.&nbsp; To learn more about this
great option, stop by our <b>Minneapolis</b> dealership during
regular business hours.</p>

<p>Those of us at Walser Hyundai are quite excited by the
recent renderings released depicting the <b>2015 Genesis</b>, set
to be officially revealed early next year. Built on the design of the HCD-14
Genesis Concept we saw some months ago, we think it will be a stellar addition
to the <b><a href="/new-inventory/index.htm">new
Hyundai</a></b> vehicles on our lot.</p>
<p>But that's not all you have to look forward to. The
automaker has also announced that the next-generation Genesis will come with
their new all-wheel drive system, called HTRAC.</p>
<p>Understanding the name is fairly simple: the 'H'
stands for 'Hyundai,' while the 'TRAC' stands for--you guessed it--'traction'.
And given that the South Korean manufacturer's autos have been lacking in the
AWD department, this technology will make the new Genesis an even more
attractive vehicle to those living in colder climates.</p>
<p>But how does it work?</p>
<p>The new HTRAC system will feature several driving
modes that can be controlled electronically. On the drivetrain end, HTRAC will
divide the torque between the front and rear axles, allowing drivers a much
more optimized, and safe experience.</p>
<p>At the moment, the HTRAC system is currently being
tested on various proving grounds and in different driving conditions
throughout the world to fine tune its performance.</p>
<p>Although it may be a little while before the new
Genesis hits our showroom, we think that the new HTRAC system will be a hit for
drivers in <b>Minneapolis</b>. If you're eager for more
information on this system, get in touch with us through our website, or drop
by our showroom. You're welcome to check out the 2013 Genesis, pictured below:</p><p><img id="fullResImage" src="https://www.hyundaiusa.com/images/HyundaiUSA/Vehicles/gallery/Genesis/2013/MayUpdate/Expand/genesis-hyundai-2013-05.jpg" alt="Hyundai Genesis Minneapolis" height="304" width="542"></p>

<p>Anyone who stays up to date with the latest Hyundai
news, like that found here on the <b><a href="/blog/index.htm">Walser Hyundai blog</a></b> is likely
aware that Hyundai is making great efforts in the realm of hydrogen fuel cell
technology development.</p>
<p>In fact, the South Korean automaker is one of the
first to put out a production-version of a hydrogen fuel cell-powered auto
which, under more American nomenclature could be headed for the U.S., even
soon.</p>
<p>So with this new type of technology imminent here
in the states, we can't help but wonder: what can we do, as a nation, to
facilitate the use of this ideal, zero-emissions, zero-gas-using type of
transportation.</p>
<p>Well, it seems the state of California is working
to spruce up its hydrogen infrastructure and Hyundai is lending a hand. The
station, which is located in San Bernardino County, is more specifically
located at the Hyundai America Technical Center. There are plans for the facility
to be open to the public in October 2014, after a series of upgrades including
a $3-million grant from the California Energy Commission.</p>
<p>Hyundai has a goal in place to build 1,000
fuel-cell vehicles by 2015 and is on course to prove how much more
energy-efficient they will be than even battery-electric vehicles.</p>
<p>If you're interested in learning more about
hydrogen fuel cell technology and keeping up with its development through
Hyundai, we invite you to subscribe directly to the <b><a href="/blog/index.htm">Walser Hyundai blog</a></b> using
your RSS feed.</p>
<p>And, if you'd like to see the fuel-efficient
<b><a href="/new-inventory/index.htm">new

<p>Sometimes Hyundai Motor America has a great sales
month and sometimes, the South Korean automaker reports the best-ever sales for
that particular month.</p>
<p>The latter is the case for August 2013 where
Hyundai's U.S. division has reached a new all-time August record with a total
of 66,101 <b><a href="/new-inventory/index.htm">new
Hyundai</a></b> models sold or leased during the month. &nbsp;This figure represents an eight percent
increase from August 2012.</p>
<p>"You always hear about the strong summer
selling months but it's still particularly gratifying to experience it first
hand, as we did in August, leveraging high consumer demand with a great lineup
of products to continue our string of record- breaking volume months,"
says Dave Zuchowski, executive vice president of national sales. "We have
good momentum, innovative marketing and incentive support, excellent inventory
balance, and a steadily improving economic climate so we feel pretty bullish
about the final four-month home stretch of
2013."<sup>1</sup>.</p>
<p>As has been the case lately, Hyundai's superstars,
including the <b>Santa Fe, Sonata</b> and
<b>Elantra</b>, were responsible for 75 percent of the total sales for
August and collectively, were up 18 percent from the year, previous.</p>
<p>The Santa Fe, which remains an ever-popular
crossover in <b>Minneapolis</b> and beyond saw a sales jump of
79 percent as compared to last August.</p>
<p>Have you had a chance to check out the Hyundai
Santa Fe? What about the Sonata, Elantra or another new Hyundai model in which
you may have an interest?</p>
<p>If not, and if the prospect sounds intriguing, then
we at <b>Walser Hyundai</b> invite you stop by and see us any time you'd
like.</p>
